Revision of subjects







Revision is an important aspect of study. If this is done in a proper way, then it reduces the stress of exam day. Because there are just some hours left to revise for the whole study material. But if you are unable to grasp the whole course in your revision days, it creates lots of stress in mind which create more and more nervousness.







A wise decision







Every good thing start with a good decision. So, first of all decide what you really want to revise because if you really want to study tax and reading costing at the main moment, then you may end up your time by just sauntering your mind here and there in books. So be cautious about this aspect. Because this is a mistake that we usually do without even realizing it.







Time wastage 







Suppose you have allotted 3 days for revision of every subject. And then you have wasted your 1.5 days in costing and done nothing. You may feel its better to switch off to another subject now.







But this philosophy is not so appropriate. Because it will create more questions in mind like now “I have wasted my whole day in costing. Now just one day more left to do tax as according to the planning schedule.”







Smart choice







You have already wasted or rather said invested your day in preparing the same subject which you don’t want to study at the same moment. But still you put your hard work in the same. So changing the subject will break down the rhythm of your preparation.







Be firm







So its better not to change the subject. Stick to the same subject which you are reading. As because its necessary to get marks in every paper. So convince your mind calmly rather then making yourself confuse.







Smart move







Revision work is not just about deciding what to read , but also a glance of how to do the best in the minimum time. So make a time schedule accordingly. First of all know what you have to cover in your syllabus in which time limit.



Allotting time







Allot the chapter on 3 basis







(a) Chapter ‘s name







(b) Level of difficulty







(c) Time you will take in doing the same











It will give you a clear picture of the time will be taken by you. Because most of time we are not bothered with the course, but with the question that whether we will be able to do the same or not ?







Proper backup







After finishing the same, you need to revise the same with the compiler or scanner. As it will give you the clear picture of how well you prepared .And you will also be in touch with the question pattern of exams.







These are just ideas, implementation is in your hands. Have a happy reading.







Conclusion







Sometimes a Hope even, can give the power of patience to do the work more wisely, if it shows the right direction.
